3) Harbingers Of Doom
This week on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, another puzzle piece in the formation of the Legion of Doom fell into place when The Reverse Flash/Eobard Thawne and Damien Darhk officially began to consort their power.
With Darhk’s attempts to whisper in the ear of President Ronald Reagan proving to be a failure, we saw this villain in a vulnerable place unfamiliar to both him and us. It was most fortunate for him, however, that Thawne extended the blackest of olive branches and offered him a seat in his very own timesphere.
Had the Legion of Doom definitively formed, that would have easily taken the top spot on our list, but this baby step made so much of an impact that it still managed to make the cut. Sure, the evil cabal won’t come together until 2017, but the knowledge that a dastardly duo can navigate the timestream just as the Waverider crew can adds an exciting new element to a series that very much needs to distinguish its second season from its first.
